LeBron, Funchess named to Rochester school board

The Rochester school board has selected Beatriz LeBron, a community health worker with Rochester Regional Health, and Melanie Funchess, director of community engagement with the Mental Health Association, for positions on the board.

They'll be officially appointed at the board's January 25 meeting, filling positions vacated by Malik Evans, who became a member of the Rochester City Council this month, and Mary Adams, who announced her resignation earlier this week.
